I decided I wanted to make my own engine cover. Here is what I have so far. This one is abs I'm thinking I'll mold it and maybe make a carbonfiber copy depending on how easily I can get the materials.

I haven't decided how to mount it yet. I'm open to suggestions

I decided to black out fog light bezels. When prepping I noticed that they take a brushed finish really well.
I liked the brushed enough to use it on the focus emblem which I moved. I left the edges flat black.

I just have to give the deep parts another coat when I find another can or two and they'll be perfect

I plastidiped my winter wheels white

Two cans wasn't enough for my liking but I could only find two. I'm not sure on the colour. The car is really dirty in the pic

The drop was 1.625" all around but I can still take it through a car wash (woo, laziness!). These cars are massively high stock.

I didn't even know that someone made that big of a drop. I agree it would look better lower. I don't notice in pictures with the .8 inch drop most of the time.

I also tend to get stuck in the mud from time to time. I had my cobalt in mud to the door handles and had to have the road dug out to get me unstuck. I was on the highway at the time. They were doing roadworks and didn't have a detour posted. That's not a normal thing but it has happened.

I'm happy with how mine sits because stock it's so much lower than my Grand Prix.
